ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The San Diego Junior Golf Association was founded on the principle of serving young people, in the hope that by doing so today’s youth will have a better chance of creating the world we all want. The IMG Academy Junior World Championship is an extension of that principle. Founded in 1968, the Junior World Championship has grown to over 1250 participants representing 56 countries and 42 states.
The IMG Academy Junior World Championship is the largest international junior event in the world and provides a great opportunity for today’s young players to showcase their immense talent against the best in the world.
Many Junior World champions have gone on to enjoy successful careers in the professional ranks on the PGA TOUR & LPGA Tour including the likes of Notah Begay III, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Corey Pavin, Pat Perez, Nick Price, David Toms & Tiger Woods.
Past girls’ champions include Amy Alcott, Brandie Burton, Lorena Ochoa and Jennifer Rosales.

Qualifying opportunities are available for players age 7 – 18 years of age (age must be as of July 11, 2024). Your individual age will determine which qualifier you must participate in for your chance to qualify for the championship.

HOW THE PLAYERS/TEAMS ARE CHOSEN?
CJGA Team Canada Selection Information and Process
Players who participate in International qualifiers through Canada must meet certain criteria.
For two (2) rounds, they must have a combined score of no more than 150. Players across Canada, given this criteria, are then put into a data spreadsheet.
Their scores, conditions of the golf course, degree of difficulty and weather are taken into account. There is point system applied to everything other than the score.
Once this is completed, a sort is done. Players who finish first in the realignment are given the first opportunity. If they cannot for some reason attend, the opportunity is given to next person on the list and so forth. Ties in the selection process will be decided by CJGA Committee.
In the case that a qualifying event is cancelled on one of the days through certain conditions, and the qualifying is only one day, the CJGA Committee will have the ability to adjust the qualifying requirements. This will be posted prior to selection by the CJGA Committee. In case the qualifier cannot be played due to a cancellation for any reason, the CJGA Committee reserves the right to choose players from the CJGA Order of Merit or from another tournament that has been completed on the CJGA Schedule.
NOTE:
